Unfortunately his team has gone straight down the toilet. Fans throwing season tickets on the ice.

So you might have a situation where his play has improved while his offensive stats might not show it at all. Interesting with regard to his draft position because he could be much better than his numbers.
I believe there was a head scout before the WJC discussing Rantanen. He said his Finnish scout was reporting to him that Rantanen is widely inconsistent. When Rantanen is on he looks amazing, but when he is off he looks really bad.
